With Brevity - Headless Lyrics

It poisoned me again
Wine dripping through my fingers
It crawled beneath my skin and left me anxious, unaligned
Standing at the edge
Weak and paralyzed
Sifting through your head
And burning crosses in your eyes
Pushing against the tide
In spite of the voices I
Still know the way
Still know the way
A merchant on every street
To sell me a new reprieve
It's all the same
It's all the same
The masses flock together
Fleeced of all possessions
A promised absolution for the headless
Where some seek fruitless comforts
I'm not afraid of dying
I'm afraid of wasted opportunities
To turn against the wind
And wear the face of judgement
To eat the guilt that's placed into
The palm of my own hand
The guise begins to slip
Facades begin to falter
I don't want to see the blank expressions
Held behind our masks
Pushing against the tide
In spite of the voices I
Still know the way
Still know the way
A merchant on every street
To sell me a new reprieve
It's all the same
It's all the same
Changing his face again
With a cloak colored bloody red
I'll leave this place
I'll bite the pain
Dancing beneath the sky
As comets begin to dive
Make no mistake
This marks our grave
Gather in the halls
A blind eye to the hopeless
Ignore the signs but cower every time you hear the bell
If I go on alone
And find only perdition
That's the risk I take to make the most of what I have
